Jane Moreno Wieske Young (Jani/Mimi)

Oh my dear sweet Lori. I have been trying to find you since 2020, for over 4 years! This is your, Kristi's, and Rosemary's once step-mother, Jane (Jani/Mimi) Moreno Wieske Young. No, no, no....this just cannot be happening, it cannot be true. I am so very sorry sweetheart. I recalled that you called me shortly after Bethany's funeral. Just to hear your sweet voice on your recorded message made me cry even more and I couldn't even write down your phone number. I just became a glob of wet sand and my tears just flowed. Then in 2019 I found a bunch of pictures that I wanted to send to you and Kristi. I still have that envelope that I sent but was returned because I apparently did not have enough postage. Even though the postage machine I used told me the amount I would need. These were pictures of you and Kristi with Bethany when she went to Dallas for her Mary Kay meetings; and other lovely photos. Bethany always enjoyed being with her "big sisters".
Again, over a year and several months ago; I started trying to contact you Lori. The information I always got was that you were Kristi Dault's sister, but I was never given an address or a phone number. I think this was the Lord's way of telling me that sad things were about to happen and if I didn't want to hurt the way I am now, I needed to reach out to you and Kristy. Which I did, but to no avail.
The one thing that I am bittersweet glad about right now is that you and Bethany have been having a reunion, a celebration and being together with your mother, with Kristi's, Rosemary's, your and Bethany's father, James E. Wieske, with my parents, Art and Toni Moreno, your father's parents Richard and Shirley Wieske and so many other family that have left their earthly home.
Oh, how sad for me, that every time I walk into my kitchen, I grab my phone and try to find you with hopes that maybe today will be the day I find you is now just a thought, a wish that will never happen. I will never be able to hear your sweet voice again. At least not in this moral world.
I have many sweet memories of you and Bethany sweet Lori. I recall when you wanted to come and live with us in Iola, but your Mom said no, never. That saddened us all, but of course especially Bethany. I also recall that you were the peace maker in the 3 sibling match we had in our home. You always did the right thing, you always wanted to stay and be with your "baby sister Bethany"; and that always made my heart melt. Thank you sweet Lori for being the peace maker, the angel to keep the sister bond together. It will be a sadness for me to carry the heartbreak that I could never keep you and Bethany together as you and she desired when you were little.
Of one thing I am grateful though, is that I aways held in my heart the will to be sure we never forgot about you and Kristi on your birthdays or on those special holidays, like Christmas; when you were both young.
I can only imagine the precious and heavenly reunion you and Bethany are having right now. I am sure that Rosemary is there as well. But I was never given the opportunity or privilege of knowing Rosemary; I am grateful that you and Kristy did have that blessing. I don't know if my angel Bethany ever met her here on earth.
I am always sad at the end of each year. This week as we close out 2024; I will be an even sadder, more melancholy (Step) Mom for not finding you these last few years that I searched for you. Even though I will be a sadder person, I am a richer person because I had the blessing of knowing your Mother, your father, and being a "Mom" to you and Kristi.
Forever, and until our Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ welcomes us all home again, I will love you forever sweet Lori...or as Bethany used to call you "Lowy" because she couldn't pronounce her Rs when she was little.
With all my love and broken heart;
Jani/Mom
